You may not park:

1. On a hill.
2. In a parking lot.
3. On a crosswalk or in a marked bicycle lane. ✓
4. Within 12 inches of the right side of the road.

Answer: C. On a crosswalk or in a marked bicycle lane.

You may not park on a crosswalk or in a marked bicycle lane.

Why this is the answer

The Florida handbook lists parking rules under a heading of things that are against the law, and crosswalks and bicycle lanes are both on that list. It also names sidewalks, intersections, and bridges. These spots are set aside for pedestrians and cyclists to travel through, so leaving a vehicle there blocks their path. The rules about turning your wheels, whether facing uphill or downhill, deal with how you park on a slope, not with places where parking is banned.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. On a hill. — Parking on a hill is not banned; the handbook instead tells you to turn your wheels to the right when parked uphill without a curb, so the rule is about how you park, not whether you may.
• B. In a parking lot. — Parking in a parking lot is a normal place to leave a car, and the handbook's list of places where parking is against the law does not include parking lots.
• D. Within 12 inches of the right side of the road. — No 12-inch distance from the right side of the road appears in these passages; the handbook's banned-parking list names places like crosswalks, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, intersections, and bridges instead.

Remember it

Picture the spots painted or reserved for people walking and biking: crosswalks and bicycle lanes are on the do-not-park list.
